What do you consider expensive? The cost of a fast food meal once a month is expensive?

Yet paying $1,000 for a full version (original MSRP) and around half that anytime you want to upgrade is...

It doesn't have to cost $5,000 to be considered Pro level, just look  at the D8xx and 5D Mk cameras.  Yes, they can cost that much but don't have to. My guess, between $2,900 and $3,500.  That will ...

People are still pounding sand about this?!? Get over it and move on. It's been over a year now since PS CC exclusivity was put in place.

If it doesn't suit you, find something else. Meanwhile,...

No issues here on my custom built Windows 10 PC.

When the A77II was first released, Imaging Resource posted some of their studio shots.  I noticed back then that their studio shots at ISO 50 appeared to be a little overexposed when compared to ...

I will say it took some effort to find the right location on the site.

@Eric Hensel -- That's odd. I just bought it last night, upgrading my Pro 8 for Sony to Pro 9 for only $40. I live in the US as well.

I'm looking at the site right now and it says $40. It's $50...

I didn't know responds to drag and drop, but that would require having CO already open, correct? Not sure if you are referring to Windows or Mac interface (I'm using Windows).

I currently use a...

What I want to know is did they finally incorporate some kind of plugin or integration option for those that still prefer to use Lightroom as their DAM?

@Contadorfan-- Maybe it is a tiered pricing then based on version?
For me to upgrade from 8 to 9 it is $40 according to their site.

When I went from Express to Pro for Sony with version 8 last...

If you already own Capture One Pro 8 for Sony, the upgrade fee to Pro 9 for Sony is only $40.

But yes, for new users, it is $50. $30 was a limited time offer, it went up to $40 or $50 almost a...

The A7RII and the A7SII are officially rated up to 500K.  I am not sure about the A7II since this number was first announced with the A7RII, which came out after the A7II.

Thanks for trying.  The only SAM lenses I have owned didn't do DMF and required flipping a switch, so I am curious in how SAM II functions versus SSM/HSM/USD. Did you see if the lens will allow you ...

I agree, return the lens. I do find it odd, though, how one moment it has extreme over exposure then strongly under exposes the next. Usually, if the aperture was sticking, your photos would over ...

EXIF info on the images would be helpful. As for how the blades look, I think I recall others mentioning the aperture blades not being entirely uniform when closed all the way (as shown in your ...

Page 116 of your manual states that the A57 is DMF capable.  But unlike the A77 and A77II, it is directly tied to your AF-A and AF-S options instead of being offered as a separate menu item as ...

I did read the manual before posting.

Of course, that won't work on all lenses.  Many lenses are not parfocal and will focus shift as you zoom in or out. You are probably better off zooming all the way in, manually focus, then zoom out ...

Correct me if I am wrong, doesn't the 18-135mm not truly offer a full time override?  Isn't it more of a DMF like that found on the 135mm Zeiss?  So more of a pseudo full time override? In other ...

Most likely so.  Across the 16-50's focal range, it must stop down 2 stops from wide open to get to F/5.6.  While it isn't a science, and there are exceptions, many lenses tend to do really well ...
